Rules that apply in Wales
Safety glass in critical locations
In Wales, safety glazing is covered by Approved Document N (glazing) under the Welsh Building Regulations rather than Approved Document K. Glass in doors up to 1,500 mm above the floor, in panes within 300 mm of a door up to 1,500 mm, and in other glazing below 800 mm should be safety glass or protected. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual choices.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for works that affect their character, which can include replacing historic glass, glazing bars or sashes. Cadw advises on the historic environment in Wales. Reversible options such as secondary glazing are often easier to agree, but the council decides.
Glazing in workplaces
Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 applies in Wales. Windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates must be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety requires it, and marked so they are apparent. The employer's risk assessment decides where that applies.

Do I need permission to replace glass in Mid Glamorgan?
Replacing glass in an existing frame is usually treated as a repair, while replacing whole windows is controlled. Safety glass is expected in critical locations under Approved Document N for Wales, and listed buildings may need consent. See the rules section on this page.
Which security rating do I need?
Homes usually need P1A to P2A under BS EN 356, shops P4A to P6B, and high-value premises P6B to P8B. Your insurer may set the level.
Do I need approval to replace glass?
In England and Wales, replacing glass alone in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair, while replacing whole windows or doors is notifiable building work. Scotland uses building warrants and Northern Ireland its own building control system, so ask the council's building control if you are unsure. New glass in a critical location should be safety glass everywhere.
